M.S. by Research in CSE at IIT Bombay With Scholarship: Apply by April 9

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Bombay invites applications from meritorious candidates for M.S. by Research in the CSE program at the institute.

M.S by Research in CSE is a new program (introduced in 2020) designed for students who wish to explore a career in R&D and can serve as a first step either towards a Ph.D. or towards a high-end R&D oriented career in industry.

The M.S by Research program is designed to be substantially different from the M.Tech. program in its admission process, its emphasis on research over courses, and its relative flexibility of program duration. A student must carry out research and submit a thesis as a graduation requirement.
